Il Gusto in South Gloucestershire

First time visit and it was great! Lively and vibrant atmosphere and given a warm and friendly welcome. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was great and we thoroughly enjoyed it from starters to afters! Thank you for an enjoyable evening with great food and atmosphere.

Great pizza & friendly staff, didn't eat in so can't rate that. 20% off take away - what's not to like!

The food is delicious and service is excellent love this place.

Excellent food at a decent price. The staff were very friendly and there was a very nice atmosphere.

We came for a roast, the belly pork is absolutely amazing and lovely gravy. Friendly service and portion sizes are very generous!

This was my first time at the Italian. I was very impressed by the service, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was spot on. The staff were so attentive and friendly. I had a wonderful evening here. I’d highly recommend this Italian.

Been here a few times and it’s been wonderful each time. The staff are always friendly and welcoming as soon as you step through the door. We’ve always found everything ordered to be enjoyable and well cooked.

We have been coming to Il Gusto for many years and every visit has been consistent. The food is delicious and the service is 1st class. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a good Italian restaurant.

Sunday lunch fabulous, pork lovey and tender with crispy crackling, friendly efficient staff, inside nice, homemade Yorkshire puddings would have made it perfect instead of frozen, nice vegetables and cauliflower cheese, puddings delicious. We will return.

Fabulous special celebration meal at this restaurant - table for 16. Food spot on, staff brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

We just had the most amazing family meal celebrating our diamond wedding 15 of us Every meal was delicious The service and the wine was wonderful Thank you so much

Lucky enough to eat here for Valentines evening. Lovely food served with warm hospitality.

Really enjoyed the evening, food was lovely, service excellent, can't fault anything about it. We will be back.

Very nice Italian restaurant. The food is made to order with fresh ingredients. Warm and inviting atmosphere makes it nice and cozy, and the staff go above and beyond to provide excellent service. We'll be visiting again.

Best local roast around! Really tasty, decent portions sizes. Was very impressed and will definitely go back again.

Very disappointed. Been before numerous times and have always been happy with the food and service. The staff are really pleasant. We came here to celebrate my dad's birthday last weekend. There was 12 of us. The food delivery to the table was really poor . The cold starters came out first and then there was a really long wait for the hot starters. By the time they came out, the people with cold starters had nearly finished. Don't understand why the starters couldn't come out all together when the hot starters were ready. Then the main food service was equally as frustrating. They served the dishes that came with chips and salad first but then didnt bring out the chips and salad out for ten minutes meaning those individuals had to watch their meals go cold whilst they waited for their sides. The other mains came out in stages, with long waits in between with the pasta dishes cooked in the oven, coming out last. Only then were we offered parmesan with again some people already near to finishing their mains by then. We tried to chase up with the staff as we were right by the kitchen but we're dismissed with "One minute..." which was actually a lot longer than that. We were clearly unhappy with the service but they still added 40.00 extra service to the bill which we promptly asked to be removed. We were very saddened by the poor service. Wouldn't recommend for large groups on this experience.

Great meal again with great service. Thoroughly recommends the Belly of pork to die for.

Delicious food and a lovely restaurant

Having eaten here a couple of times and enjoyed it I persuaded my friends to change our usual restaurant and eat here instead. It was a Christmas lunch get together and our table was booked for 1pm. The staff were friendly enough but didn’t offer to take our coats and pointed us in the general direction of our table. We all ate different pasta dishes, they were ok but not up to the previous standards. Two of us had the Linguine Il Gusto but neither of us would choose it again. It wasn’t very flavoursome and in quite a runny sauce. We had garlic bread, pizza style, to share but it was extremely greasy. The thing that was really irritating was the constant arrival at our table of waiters to hurry us along. No sooner had we been served teas and coffees but the bill was presented without us asking and then along came a waiter with the card machine. This was 2.30 and the restaurant by that point was empty, other diners clearly hurried along also. We were not sure if it was just because the staff wanted their own lunch or something else but we all commented on how we felt pushed out. As a result we won’t be going back in a hurry.

Tasted better food from my nans dustbin!

Turned up for our booking at eight to be greeted by a massive queue of other people waiting also. What's the point of booking a table if that table isn't available!?! Totally a fraud of a company who obviously doesn't care about their customers. Promptly left after being told by a laughing Italian wannabe that Thier was an hour or so wait. Completely ruined our evening which was to celebrate my dad getting the all clear from cancer!! He was reduced to tears by this you utter moron's!! I really hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest your restaurant!!

Booked but couldn't get seated. The place took bookings for 30+ people all at the same time so we couldn't get near a table. Shocking organisation.

I went for a break with three others. The food was lovely. I ate from the Xmas menu and had the mozzarella balls followed by the lamb shank. Service was very good and the restaurant was busy. I would go again

Came here for a Sunday roast. 5 people (2 kids) - beef, pork belly, chicken and salmon were ordered. All were really nice. The Veg comes in separate dishes for the table which is nice and was generous in portion size. Broccoli, carrots, runner beans and a separate cauliflower cheese - all nice, all fresh. A really good roast! Nice gravy! Only slight downside was we were sat next to a solid stone wall which had a slight draft coming from above. It seems at the rear of the restaurant this is both sides. Just beware if you have oldies in the group. However I’m not sure what they can do about the structure of an old building 🤷🏻‍♂️ and to be fair this was during storm Darragh. Waiters were nice and attentive, friendly and always near or asking if anything needed. Lush roast - go!

Excellent Sunday roast Brilliant Italian

Excellent food fantastic friendly attentive staff

Came here on a sunday afternoon for some early dinner, was quiet and sat pretty quickly in a cozy little dining area. The menu has quite a lot of range for a fair price. The service was quick and the staff were very nice.

Lovely staff and excellent food . Every member of staff was polite and friendly ,super efficient service. All the dishes were delicious and very good value at lunchtime particularly . Will definitely visit again . Chipping Sodbury is very lucky to have this restaurant !

Booked for a large birthday meal, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lovely energy to the restaurant and food was excellent.

Had the roast beef. Was delicious. Large portion of vegetables served with them. Great gravy. Service was a little slow but made up for by the food quality.

Nice atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. I love the lunchtime special. Huge pizza. Generous side salad. The waiters are attentive and friendly. Great place to meet up with friends. Can get very busy, so it is best to book.

Great honest food and service. Don't underestimate the steak or pizza. They are great!

Had a lovely quiet evening meal on Sunday. Great service and quality of food was excellent. Highly recommend

Banging roast dinners! I go in for a Sunday roast takeaway it's proper nice most weekends. Staff are always buzzing and on hand to help with a warm smile.

Fresh and Delicious everyones love it ,Be back soon .

Absolutely lovely place, staff a breath of fresh air, everyone of them polite and friendly all night. Food was delicious and hot throughout, ordered a meal I have never eaten, and I wasn'tdisappointed. Party of 10 and not one issue with any of the food ordered. Definitely recommend and definitely will be going back.

My husband and I went there to celebrate my birthday. From arriving until leaving we experienced perfection. The service was first class, the food was excellent and we had a lovely evening. The restaurant was packed and this was on a Monday ! I imagine you would have to make a reservation at the weekend, as it’s so popular. We will definitely be returning.

Visited this beautiful authentic Italian restaurant for my 30th birthday meal. Delicious food and quality beverages, very clean facilities and friendly staff. The only downfall thing was that we were automatically charged for our food service without being told. I shall not be coming here often.

Why go anywhere else! Amazing Food served by Great staff in a Great location Perfect for us and our friends. Jane and Phil

Nice roast veg cannelloni but disappointing tiramisu which was more like a cream cake with virtually no taste of coffee or marsala.

I had Sunday lunch here with my husband and one of our sons. The Sunday lunch menu offered a good choice of food for us all - one meat eater, one vegetarian and one fussy eater! All the staff were very friendly and super efficient. The food was delicious, the portions generous and the pricing very reasonable. The choice of Sunday roasts was impressive and the meal came with a surprisingly large range of beautifully cooked vegetables.

pre booked a small party here for our wedding celebration, as usual the food was abundant and exceptionaly well cooked. thank you for giving us an amazing evening, the staff were as always brilliant, attentive but not intrusive.

Food was lovely but service was very rushed plus we were rushed to pay and leave our reserved table as soon as we’d finished eating. We were in the restaurant for 70Mins from being seated to leaving with waiters apologising and saying they needed the table. What was a nice meal turned into a disappointing evening due to their service.

From walking through the door we were greeted with a smile and hello from every member of staff. We shown to our table and given the menus. Shortly after our drinks order was taken and a little while after our food orders. The service was quick and accurate but without being made to feel rushed. 2 of us had the Sunday roast beef and 2 had the beef lasagne, all 4 plates were empty at the end. We then had desert which was also good. This was my first visit to Il Gusto and really enjoyed it. The only comment I would give in my personal opinion is the character of the restaurant, it could do with something, I don't know what, it just seemed a bit bare. All in all the service was excellent and the food very good.

Amazing food, fantastic staff, eaten here many times and will continue to eat here.

Had main course pizza and desert Tiramisu.

I don't agree with the service charge being added to the bill. It says it's optional, but it is designed to make it feel awkward for you to say no. To respond to the owners comment - if I get the gist of your message, the 3 stars is because I feel that the service charge is rude. The food was reasonable, so I have given you an overall 3 stars which reflects my experience.

Delicious food, nice staff. I recommend the place.

Pizza was well-cooked and tasty. Salmon linguine was also tasty. Everything could have used more salt/pepper/spice but hey it's UK. VERY busy and VERY loud on Saturday night, but staff was pretty accommodating if not a little inattentive towards the end.

A party of 11 and all the food came hot and on hot plates! No time for desserts but would recommend the Pizzas; Risottos; Bruschetta and Garlic Sides. One of our party had Omelet and Chips... a good hearty portion.

We came in on a Friday night. We didn’t book but staff found us a table which was nice of them. However when we initially came in and walked up to the bar, the member of staff was putting the food order in but didn’t even acknowledge us, at all. We stood patiently waiting until another member of staff walked past and we asked if they had a table. We ordered a starter, meatballs, a carbonara and a cannelloni. The food was ok, nothing wrong with it but it wasn’t anything special either. The starter had two meatballs which was expensive for what it was. The carbonara was fine but was very greasy. The cannelloni was just a bit flavourless. When we got our mains, no one even bothered to come up and ask if the food was ok. We were surrounded by three tables of parties and it was super loud, when the rest of the restaurant was quieter. When we asked for the bill, it took a long time for the bill to be brought over and then even longer, about 20 minutes I think? for them to bring over the card reader so we could pay and go. We aren’t local but if we were, I have to be honest, we wouldn’t have come back. Too expensive for what it was and service was lacking.

Well what a pleasant surprise. Pretty average from the outside but step inside and it is lovely. The food was the best for a long time. I mean really great. Great service too

Food and service was really good.

Great italian. Try the pork belly

A gem of a local restaurant, Family friendly, great tasting food and good value with excellent portion sizes. Our second visit here and this time were sat at the back of the restaurant which is a bit more open. The staff are welcoming and helpful. A solid bet for hearty Italian food. Thank you very much!

Risotto il gusto absolutely tasteless with rubbery bits of chicken. Service not good, slightly aggressive and took ages to get the bill and pay

Cannot comment on food, rang up to enquire about if you have to book a table as couldn't see it anywhere, all I got in return was 'of course you do' in rude tone! Won't bother giving them my custom!

I’ll gusto is a brilliant place for families. The children’s pizzas are very generous and are delicious. We recommend this for anybody thinking of going out with their kids.

just utterly a brilliant experience. best lasagna!

Great family restaurant and great Italian food. Really, a gem of a place to go to.

Mid week evening out,the restaurant became very busy from around 7.30 so advise to make reservations for any time of day. Staff very friendly and professional. Good choice of meals including non Italian. Can get quite noisy but no to the point it ruins your evening, people are enjoying themselves! Prices are reasonable expect around £35 per head.

Very nice restaurant, great Italian food and the lemon cheesecake for desert was so good.

Excellent food, good service and not expensive

The bruschetta was just ok. 7£ no decorations, no small salad around. But the taste was ok. The pasta was really poor. Just basic, 16£ for a small plate. Too much sauce, really tiny over cooked prawns. Really disappointed. Maximum 2/5

Friendly and relaxed ambience and service. Best carvery in the area by far. Beef and chicken were ordered. A tasty gravy and good selection of roasted and fresh veg. Only quibble was cauliflower cheese made with mozzarella only, so it tasted bland. A sprinkle of parmesan toasted on top would have lifted it no end. Mushroom Rissoto was enjoyed as well as three of the pizza choices; a nice thin, crispy base, generous toppings including a tasty mozzarella, a little too much for some tastes. We will be back.

Cracking food, could do with some heating! Needed to keep my coat on.

Great place good atmosphere and good pizza

Me and my daughter in law went there for lunch. We also had my grandson, who is only 2 months old. They were very accommodating to where we'd like to sit and also have enough room for the buggy. The food was excellent, we both had seafood risotto's and it was hot, beautifully presented and tasted lovely. Staff very caring and polite. Definitely will be going bk again.

This is our favourite Italian restaurant!!! We love coming here and the takeaway pizza is also GOOD! The service is always amazing and the food is stunning. Highly recommend for any time of year! Get the I'll Gusto Pizza.

Great food! Planning to go back in a few days already!

LINGUINE PESCATORE is really really delicious!

The best Italian around. Great value at lunchtime.

Had a lovely meal for hubbys birthday, EXTREMELY disgusted with the treatment of the wait staff from their employers!! Over heard the belittling for absolute no reason later on found out that they personally do not keep tips, which we later on found out from the lovely wait staff that they get a certain amount of tips from how well they have worked that month. Not evenly distributed on hours or what they have earned personally. Do not think we will be returning which is shame as food is normally amazing! Do better.

Went for the £8.95 pizza and pasta lunchtime deal. Restaurant nicely decorated and waiters very polite and friendly. I ordered the pasta arribiata which I normally do when I go to Italian restaurants. Unfortunately the taste was very bland. No taste of chilli and the onions were sliced not diced as usual. The tomato sauce was watery and not thick. I asked for more chilli and was given chilli oil. I had to put so much on to get any flavour that my meal was very oily. I was told they don't put much chilli into meals as not everyone likes it however arribiata is meant to be very spicy. Its literal translation is angry due to the amount of chilli used. My companion had the Spanish omelette which looked lovely but why a Spanish one and not Italian I don't know. It had spinach, red pepper, potato and onion in it. All in all a bit of a disappointment however I have been told that Sunday lunches are very good

What great place. We received a warm welcome. The service is very good and the food came quickly. It was packed for a Tuesday night. We will be returning.

Fantastic pasta 😋 Def go there again

Great food and fantastic service - we will definitely be back!

I, wrongly was dubious about going to an Italian restaurant for an English roast. I went with my mother and we both had roast belly pork. I have to say it was one of the best roasts I've had! Beautifully presented, lots of accompanying dishes that came with it. Service was very good, the food came out promptly and the waiters/waitresses were really lovely and welcoming. Reasonably priced too. I'd definitely go again.

Grate italian lovely food and service

The bruschetta was amazing and the carbonara equally great. Service was on point and for the quality, the price was good too. Can’t wait to come back

I love these guys in this resturant, I'm a regular here and they treat every individual so nicely and love to take the time to chat to you. On top of this their food is great quality and greatly priced. Highly reccommend !! :)

A very nice place. The pizza was very tasty and I would choose it again.

My partner and I have been here several times and has always been a pleasant experience. Lovely food, quick and helpful service and good atmosphere.

Great food, would definitely recommend.

There were 12 of us food came quickly and hot cand staff were very attentive

First visit and extremely impressed, staff were excellent, friendly and great service. My mums 80th birthday they brought out her cake and the whole restaurant sang, made it special for her. Food was great, fillet steak one of the best ever had. Will recommend and return again.

Food was great, good options for my friend who is a celiac. Service was bare minimum and felt very hands off. It wasn’t rude per say but our servers made no effort to build repport or ask questions (it was my birthday) It just felt a bit like they didn’t really care if we were there or not. Just served us food, we paid and left

This was a brilliant vist with great staff and great service

Best place in chipping Sodbury Yate To eat out The food and the service was amazing we been there with are friends just too say thank you

Great, jovial place to have dinner. Whether it was the Christmas excitement but all the staff were really buzzing which made for a fantastic atmosphere. Food was the best Italian that I've tasted in the area too!

We had a great welcome and a wonderful meal. The thoughtful position of our table meant the pram was beside us and readily accessible, without impacting other diners. We had a great evening thank you x

Another great meal. Very attentive staff. The food was fabulous, thanks chefs 👍

Great choice of good food, friendly service, reasonably priced.

Great food and great place. Pizzas were amazing!

Beautiful food good atmosphere the best service friendly amazing service you can get in a Italian restaurant

Went today for the first time to II Gusto with a friend. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on their any Pasta or Pizza for £8.95. We both had Cannelloni, which was delicious and we were very pleased with the portion size. We definitely have found our place to go for lunch when we next return to Chipping Sodbury or Yate in future.

Great customer service but the food has changed the last few years. I go back in the hope it might have returned to it's previous standard but alas the quality has not returned. You get plenty of food but most pasta dishes offer no contrast in taste/colour/texture. e.g A bowl of pasta has no colour from maybe some green peas/or green veg. You get a 'BEIGE' bowl of pasta that tastes the same all the way through with no flavour/texture contrast. The Risotto has become bland and boring. It's like the dishes has been reduced in quality. I maybe go one/twice per year now instead of once a month like I used too. Gone from great to average. Sorry, but that's my experience.

We had a great dinner here. The food was excellent, the bruschetta starter in particular was delicious as well as the seafood risotto. The restaurant had a friendly and welcoming ambience to it enhanced by the attentive staff. Fantastic experience, no hesitation to recommend and to return soon!

My wife and I took her sister here for a meal. She had eaten here before and was fondly greeted by the staff. The waiters were attentive without being over-friendly and all three of us enjoyed our meals. Recommended. We will certainly return.
